Desde 1988 se ven\u00eda previniendo la posible aparici\u00f3n de este Parche de Basura, mediante estudios de corrientes y desechos. En el centro de corrientes oce\u00e1nicas circulares se crean cuerpos de agua estables; esas mismas corrientes pasan por las costas de Estados Unidos y Jap\u00f3n, donde recolectan la basura que arrojamos, y luego la acumulan en su centro, donde el agua es estable.<\/p>\n
Uno de los m\u00e1s grandes problemas reside en que el material no queda flotando en pedazos grandes o enteros, lo que har\u00eda m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil su limpieza, sino que por influencia de los rayos del sol, todo ese material de desintegra en pedazos casi microsc\u00f3picos que se suspenden en la columna de agua y son f\u00e1cil de ingerir para los animales marinos que comen plancton<\/a>. Para darnos una idea, en las \u00e1reas superficiales m\u00e1s contaminadas del Gran Parche, se encuentran 6 kilos de basura por cada kilo de plancton.<\/p>\n Sin embargo esto solo es un 30 por ciento de la basura, porque el resto se hunde al fondo del mar, por lo cual, las consecuencias biol\u00f3gicas de esta contaminaci\u00f3n ser\u00edan inimaginables.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Podemos concluir que el basurero m\u00e1s grande del mundo no est\u00e1 en tierra, est\u00e1 en el mar. Esta isla sigue creciendo y la realidad es que es demasiado grande como para que se pueda acometer alguna soluci\u00f3n. El gasto para limpiar esta suciedad ser\u00eda enorme, tanto en equipos de recogida como para despu\u00e9s procesar tal cantidad de basura.<\/p>\n Asimismo, esta isla de basura es solo el ejemplo m\u00e1s notorio de la gran contaminaci\u00f3n que ya sufren nuestros oc\u00e9anos, los mares y r\u00edos de nuestro planeta.<\/p>\n Otros Nombres:<\/strong> Gran mancha de basura en el Pac\u00edfico, Isla de basura, Isla t\u00f3xica, Gran zona de basura en el Pac\u00edfico, Remolino de basura del Pac\u00edfico.<\/p>\n Fuentes:<\/strong> Elblogverde.com, New York Times Magazine, Algalita Marine Research Foundation, Consejo para la Defensa de Recursos Naturales (NRDC).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Este nombre lo reciben las m\u00e1s de 100 millones de toneladas de basura ubicadas en el Oc\u00e9ano Pac\u00edfico; una mancha de basura de m\u00e1s de 700 mil kil\u00f3metros cuadrados.
